You probably want to show the doctor your best health, but it’s not necessary to change your eating habits before an annual appointment. ‘Your providers would like you to be honest and upfront about your lifestyle and diet, so they can have an accurate history of your health and provide you with the best possible care,’ says Gregory John Galbreath, MD, a PIH Health physician in Whittier, California.
And even if you improved an unhealthy diet close to your appointment date, it probably wouldn’t matter. ‘It takes a long time for a diet to change cholesterol and blood sugar, so a dietary change of a few days or meals isn’t going to do much,’ Dr. Dewar says.
